# How to Manage Printers (Add/Remove)

**Overview**

The Printer Management tool allows you to remotely configure printing on your managed devices. You can push a new network printer configuration (including IP address and drivers) to a specific computer or a group of computers. You can also set the new printer as the default device automatically, ensuring users are instantly ready to print.

#### **Step-by-Step Guide**

**1. Navigate to Device Actions**

Select the computer(s) you want to configure.

* From the main menu, go to Devices > Computers (1).
* Check the box (2) next to the target computer (e.g., `WIN-OEA8...`).
* Click the Actions button (3) at the top of the list.

In the "Add" window, enter the specific connection details for the printer.

* Deployment Name: Give the task a descriptive name (e.g., `HP Printer 1`).
* Printer Name: Enter the friendly name the user will see (e.g., `BoolDesk P1`).
* Connection Type: Select Network Printer (or Local Printer if applicable).
* IP Address / Hostname: Enter the printer’s IP address (e.g., `10.1.1.1`).
* Driver: If a driver is required, select the appropriate file from your repository (e.g., `driver_setup.exe`).
* Set as Default: Toggle Set as Default Printer to ON if you want this to be the user's primary printer.
* Click Submit to push the configuration.
